“Retreats are a potent way to remember what is important in life. Our breath, meaningful human connections, nature, conscious movement, rest & soul nourishment. They are a powerful gateway to living a life with heart & soul.”

WOMEN’S WELLNESS RETREATS

Retreat to a place of profound natural beauty; take time to nourish your body, mind and soul. Lake Tekapo is the ideal destination for a Wellness Retreat; the dramatic landscape and wide open spaces; the calming turquoise of the lake create a feeling of well-being.
Add to that delicious wholefoods, Yoga, Qoya, inspirational sessions, like-hearted community and space to relax – a magic weekend awaits.
This Women’s Wellness Retreat is co-hosted by Penny Wilson from Tekapo Wellness and Kate from Thrive in Light. Penny is an Integrated
Nutrition Coach who believes that wellness begins from the inside out. It’s more than the food we eat. It’s about belonging, kindness, beliefs. Penny is passionate about encouraging women to shine to their fullest potential.
Kate is a Yoga & Qoya teacher who believes that we thrive when we shine our light, live our truth and nurture our soul. Kate is lit up by sharing her love of Yoga, Qoya, meditation & soul inspiration with women.
Join us for a truly inspiring, nourishing and soulful journey.
